Sanji’s feet were close together and spun in place. The swirling cyclone swayed the gravel to both sides, like a probe drilling toward the ground, constantly exploring downwards, and the thick sand surface was gradually swept away to reveal an inward surface. pit.

The hot steam came from the sand, but the strange thing was that Sanji felt that the temperature on the soles of his feet was decreasing. The tactile sensation of piercing the real thing makes a "puff" sound.

Cold and slippery, it was like stepping into the clammy and wriggling intestines of a monster. Zoro suddenly drew his knife, and the blade swept past Sanji's feet. The creep was cut into two bullets and landed on the sand, and was still stubbornly wriggling in an attempt to retract back to the ground.

"So disgusting, what kind of plant is this?" The severed fungus slammed down at Nami's feet, and she suddenly had a layer of goose bumps on the back of her feet, forcing the nausea and fear to observe the past.

"It's kind of like a fungus plant. The activity of the cells is very scary. I haven't seen this plant in the biological illustration book in Dr. Kureha's study, so it's an unknown plant." Chopper didn't know Take out a pair of metal tweezers from where to cut a piece from the creep, put it in a glass bottle and put it in the schoolbag behind.

"Why does this kind of thing appear under the desert?" Usopp pressed the goggles on the bridge of his nose, as if he could see farther and more clearly, the sand under his feet trickled down the broken hole , New black bud tissue has emerged from the edge of the creep that was cut by the blade, and it is growing frantically, as if it will heal again and cover the hole again in just a few breaths.

The interior of the cave was very dark, and the cold and dangerous smell wafted out from the entrance of the cave. Luffy leaned down, his hands suddenly stretched out and grabbed towards it, and he quickly grabbed something about the thickness of a normal human arm. He squeezed it tightly, and the body that was left outside the cave turned around and grinned at the crowd: "I'll go down first!"

The voice fell, Nami and Usopp didn't even have time to stop, Luffy disappeared in place in a flash, and flew in like a spring contraction, Zoro squinted, he couldn't help but grab Usopp, Usopp grabbed Chopper, the three of them jumped in together.

"Nami, let's go in too!" Sanji picked up Nami, who was resigned, and jumped in.

ten minutes later.

Deep in the ground, Usopp turned on his flashlight and swayed around, and all he could see were countless thick roots, which were surrounded by a layer of rough sand, which looked like floating on the wall from a distance. A wrinkle formed, but peeling off the cover of the sand, inside is the thickness of an arm... pitch-black tentacles.

The vines that looked like plants looked like the tentacles of some kind of monster. They guessed in their hearts, but they couldn't determine what kind of monster was this "shady curtain" that seemed to hollow out the entire ground.

"It's actually empty underground. These things and that kind of fungi support the sand sea flowing overhead." Usopp stared at the deep, empty, deadly silence as if he could see no end of darkness, this kind of strange The grandeur makes people feel an inexplicable trembling from the bone marrow: "How big is this below? Isn't this thing under the whole of Alabasta?"

Usopp shook his head, denying this terrifying idea, but even if it was only a part of it, it was terrifying enough. This was to hold the desert abruptly above, and it had to be done with terrifying power.

"Chopper, do you know what this is?" Nami carefully peeled off the sticky sand surface, revealing a dark tentacle below.

Chopper tried to cut a section from the top with tweezers, collected it back and used it for analysis, but the sharp tweezers seemed to slip and couldn't hold it at all, "I don't know, I've never seen this kind of thing in any book. "

After several unsuccessful attempts, Chopper cast a look at Zoro for help, Zoro waved his knife casually, and the blade easily smashed the sticky thick sand surface, but the moment it touched the black, it slipped and wiped away, as if it was chopped in. on a smooth curved mirror surface.

"Um?"

Sauron was stunned, and in an instant he slashed with the knife again. The terrifying swordsmanship capable of severing steel was still bizarrely slicing away. There were cracked stripes on the black and smooth roots. The blade is cut off, but it is only broken by the impact of the force transmitted from the blade. There is a completely different difference between the two.

The former is superb swordsmanship, while the latter can only be attributed to brute force, and it is the kind that is extremely crude and wasteful, because Sauron knows that most of the power transmitted by the blade has been slipped and dislodged, hitting the air.

"It's too smooth to cut down to the point of force." Zoro's eyes showed a thoughtful light, but Chopper didn't think so much and quickly took out a small piece from the crack with tweezers and put it in the bottle. This time it was No longer hindered, it seems that the eerie smoothness is confined to the surface.

rustling... There is a strange sound coming from a distance in the dark and dead underground, like some kind of ink grinding sound, and like the sound of countless insects chewing flesh and bones~lightnovelpub.net ~ Usopp was the most nervous, the first one to **** up his ears, the sound echoing in the eardrum became clearer and clearer, not auditory hallucinations, he pointed in the direction of the sound: "There, it is the sound coming from the top of the head over there. ."

"That seems to be the direction of the battlefield." Sanji interrupted.

The Straw Hats looked at each other, Luffy led the group and walked towards the position where the voice came from. The flashlight that Usopp was carrying was dangling back and forth with a faint glow. In the cold darkness, he always felt uneasy. Kind eyes are peeping from a corner.

"What a **** smell!" Everyone stopped and looked up. At the moment when the light of the flashlight hit the past, everyone's face twitched in a neat and uniform manner, and their pupils shrank into pinholes. In this state, the hairs all over his body exploded upside down, and his face was unnaturally pale.

The sand layer above the head was flowing, and strips of withered yellow tentacles pierced into the sand sea with their teeth and claws in the air, and suddenly pulled strips of fresh corpses from the sand, and the blood splashed in the rough friction connected into strings of beads. Splashed down, countless incomplete or relatively complete flesh and blood were stuck by tentacles and dragged out of the sand sea and pulled into the underground space. The dense tentacles were stained with blood and waving above their heads. The whole picture looked like a **** and horrifying processing factory. , the raw materials are the dead people who just died in the battlefield.
